Hi Everyone and welcome to the Getting Cricky with K Andrew Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Becky's blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by to see me today (Thanks!) make sure you go and start at the beginning of the hop so you don't miss a thing!
This month we are supporting our fallen HEROES... We will each be featuring special "Thank You" cards to be delivered during the "Run for the Fallen" in Maine..."Run for the Fallen Maine is an organization dedicated to keeping alive the memory of our military heroes that gave their lives to protect our freedom since September 11, 2001.
On Sunday August 21, 2011 the 4th run to honor our heroes will be held. This is a 65 kilometer event with each kilometer being dedicated to the memory of one of our heroes that lived in Maine, had family from Maine, or had some ties to our home State."

Great card. Thank you for sharing. I am grateful to so many people but would like to thanks the soldiers who fight for us everyday. I am eternally grateful.
ReplyDeleteWant to thank all the people who have served to give us our freedom which is not free by any means. Have Military background in my family. Hubby served during Vietnam war. Like the patriotic cards. I've used the Star embossing folder for 4th of July cards & other Patriotic cards. I'm a new follower of your blog. I've been a follower of Getting Cricky with K Andrew for awhile.

Julie, your card is superb. I love how Patriotic it is. When you see the Red, White and Blue...you know it's America.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank my wonderful husband for being my best friend. More than anything I want to thank the BRAVE men and women of our INCREDIBLE "AMERICAN" MILITARY...they are AMERICA'S HEROES.
Thanks to you and all making cards to send our Heroes.

Absolutely LOVE it Julie--this is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I just love your card. It just has the perfect message on it. We just cannot thank you military enough for the job they do. My daddy and all of his brothers were US Marines in WWII. My daddy was critically injured on Guam. He is 87 years old and continues to have complications from his injuries. Two of his brothers were in the Korean War where one was a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. They are all my heros.
